Verdict

PRINCE OF SORTS (5) has mixed his form since resuming but boasts strong peaks. Gave a bold sight at Narromine last time, only to be run down late. Is a distance specialist and gets an important 4lbs claim. Bold showing anticipated. ALL STAR (6) returns to his home track after a fair run in town last time when fifth at Randwick. Settles back early but winds up late. Will be tough to hold out. AGITA (4) finished a close sixth last time out over 6f at Randwick first-up, doing his best work late. Steps up in distance today. Backmarker who gets home hard. Best form puts him right in this. CRYPTONIC (2) can run well again on the home track.
